Tuner's Knot--NOT!

<< There is/are three knots

        Umm,  the bend that I described (joining two pieces together is a 
bend, making something big out of one piece is a "knot", for those that want to 
be picky),  isn't any of these,  it was taught to us by Jim Hayes in 1975 at 
the North Bennet School.  It works on anything but super soft wire in 
fortepianos.
